[Tish]

Hello! I hope this is in the right forum.

I'm Tish - my partner and I are doing IVF because he has trapped sperm

I've been dipping in and out of this forum for a while now. Tomorrow my partner and I have our first appt with our IVF nurse, and I'm having so much trouble concentrating on work today - I'm scared as hell! Is this normal? We've done all the counselling and seminars so I know what I'm in for - I don't know why I feel like this.

A friend of mine has just had a successful cycle using down regulation and I'm wondering if I feel this way because we're doing a short one. The Drs are talking about a timeline like pregnancy test 1st week of Feb - it seems awfully close, which is exciting but somehow scary too. Because we've always known we can't have kids naturally we've never been "trying". It feels a bit strange to be going from point A to pregnant (hopefully!!!) without passing go or collecting $200, if that makes sense.

Is there anyone else out there in the same situation?
